GENE CHANDLER - DON'T HAVE TO BE LYING BABE

Anybody who has been around this blog for a while would certainly be aware of my love of Gene Chandler- I've featured over a dozen of his singles since the beginning of this blog!

This track from '72 is one that honestly took a while to grow on me, and those strings practically push it into being a proto-disco number. While I have nothing against disco for the most part, this ain't no disco blog by any stretch!

However, in listening to this song again recently I was bowled over by the overall energy and the fact that, yes, there is a truly great song living under those swirling strings. And I've grown to kinda like the strings as well.

I don't know about this one Derek. I like Gene Chandler, but this isn't doing it for me. I'll take your recommendation and give it a few spins over the next couple of days and see if I can key into it. It's not that its bad, it just isn't wowing me. Thank you for putting it up here. Keep up the good work.
